A few hours after Aaron Boone said the quiet part out loud, the Yankees manager backtracked from that a bit.
TAMPA — A few hours after Aaron Boone said the quiet part out loud — that Aaron Judge may not get “back to throwing like he normally does” the rest of the season as he deals with a flexor strain — the Yankees manager tried to backtrack slightly.But Judge did not seem thrilled about the initial prediction.
Boone had made the first comment during an appearance on WFAN Tuesday morning, but during his pregame session with reporters later in the day, tried to clarify what he meant.Yankees hit back-to-back-to-back homers for third time this season to join rare company“I’m just saying, is he going to come back and be a 70-80 arm that he normally is?” Boone said before thein which Judge hit his 40th homer of the season. “I don’t know that I’m expecting that necessarily.
Neither Judge nor Boone were willing to offer a guess at when the reigning AL MVP might be able to play the field again, but Judge said he was feeling “way better” than when he started his throwing progression two weeks ago Wednesday. He is still experiencing some soreness, but has thrown out to 150 feet, with the next and likely last step in his progression being throwing to bases, though Judge was not sure when that would happen either.
Judge, meanwhile, said he would be “cautious” to make sure he does not make the flexor injury worse, citing the rest of the season he has to get through, but indicated he “hopes” there will come a time when he will be able to let it rip.
